Infrastructure Ontario has unveiled plans for a major transit-oriented community at Guildwood GO Station in Scarborough, proposing a dense cluster of six residential high-rises of up to 60 floors on land currently used for surface parking. The proposal falls within the station’s pending Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) and reflects provincial and city ambitions to concentrate growth around high-capacity transit. Designed by Zeidler Architecture, the masterplan organizes the site into three development blocks, with the tallest buildings closest to the station with podiums of seven stories throughout.
The development would deliver 2,534 residential units across 191,291 square meters of gross floor area, supported by 1,766 square meters of ground-floor retail. Two 60-story buildings will anchor Block B at the station interface, while Blocks A and C feature pairs of 35- and 40-story buildings to the east and two 30-story buildings closer to Kingston Road. Public realm elements include a new park, a station plaza, and a privately owned public space along the rail corridor, alongside more than 9,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor amenity space.
Parking plans include replacing 762 GO commuter spaces, plus additional residential and visitor parking below grade, along with extensive bicycle facilities. The site is well served by GO Transit, TTC buses, and a future Eglinton East LRT stop planned nearby. Infrastructure Ontario will advance the proposal through further public consultation in January 2026, with construction envisioned to begin at the station-facing block before progressing west and east across the site.
